    Default people who try too hard to be nice annoy me

    don't worry, not a drama thread.

    so there's this guy on my personal myspace, i only added him because he's a friend of a friend and despite the fact that he actually infuriates me i'd feel bad if i deleted him so i just ignore him.

    he is seriously the biggest ass-kissing try-hard i have ever encountered. he replies to EVERY single fucking status change or bulletin i post. i post a silly bulletin about losing weight, he sends back a long reply saying, "Okay babe, I'll look up some ideas for you and send you through a bunch of information!". i change my status to say i just quit my job, he sends a message offering to lend me some money. i say i just ate some fries, he'll reply with, "mmm, fries! can i have some?" everything i post is replied to with this ridiculously over-generous offer of assitance or praise or something like that.

    keep in mind, i have never actually met this guy - the only contact i have ever had with him is his constant flattery and offers of help on myspace. he has a girlfriend so it's not like he's trying to get into my pants.

    he makes me so mad that sometimes i actually want to punch things. one day he sent me 22 fucking messages, none of which i replied to. i NEVER reply to him and he still sends me stuff all the time, and when i do feel bad for ignoring 34973947 messages and actually reply to one, it becomes this fucking onslaught of him offering me money and services and information.

    am i weird for getting so fucking angry over this? does anyone else get this annoyed by people trying waaaaay too hard to be nice to them? should i just delete him from my myspace?

    The only thing "weird" about it is that you would rather be angry and annoyed, than just push the button and delete the bugger. And even that isn't so weird because lots of people do that sort of thing. They would rather be upset, or inconvenienced, or angry or whatever, than do something that would cause someone to think poorly of them.

    Do you get any enjoyment out of Myspace?

    Err ah, well, my thought was the exact opposite. It sounds like he is trying to get into your pants, at least on some level. Having a GF doesn't stop a lot of guys from trying with other women (but you already know that ).

    The sickening sweet, overly responsive, NICE guy strategy is a persona a lot of guys will adopt, conscious or not, in an attempt to increase their odds of scoring. It may well have the opposite effect on you, but some women respond to it. If nothing else, it has you thinking about it him on some level.

    Sorry to be so negative here, but often when it comes to us guys and hot women, a guys motives are usually fairly transparent.

    what if he really is a genuinely nice guy ? chris rock said it best "chivalry is dead........... and WOMEN KILLED IT" i can see how it would be annoying, just zap him a message to give it a rest. if he keeps going or weirds out nuke him.

    there's a difference between being nice, and being an ass-kissing try-hard.

    he's seriously the most annoying person i've ever met. i hate hate hate being treated like that.

    Lol do you think his girlfriend would think it was "nice" that he was offering a sexy girl he had never met money and hanging off her every little word??? Methinks not! I think she would take one look at darcy's incredibly sexy photos (I am assuming your myspace has sexy pics hehe) and confiscate his computer!!

    i was being sarcastic, lol. i actually got yelled at for not checking out a girl in spandex at the coldstone creamery lastnight while talking to the girl i was with. she couldn't believe i had the audacity to keep listening to her while the hottie walked right by us wiggling her ass mere inches from my face

    Make regular and copious use of the delete from friends function. I do it all the time.

    Ew. Does he do this to everybody?
    Some people are just irritating. Delete him now. He should get the message..

    Tell him to back off already. There's no being polite to these types of people because they're very hard headed and oblivious to subtlety. You have to whack him over the head with it.

    "Hey, you're being creepy and overbearing. Chill out!"

    I really hate this stuff too! I recently deleted someone (that I didn't know) because he was constantly leaving me 10 ft tall comments consisting of flowers, hearts, bunnies, etc......
    But what I hate more is when a person pretends to be overly nice. It's like you can feel the fakeness sticking to the air.

    Unlike most of my friends, I have the ability to refrain from reading or listening to messages that I know I won't like. Or instead of getting directly involved with the drama of writing back, I'll just post s'thing in the quote section and leave it at that.
    I guess it all can't be avoiding if they address the message in a shitty way.

    He was?!

    Ew.

    That would annoy me from a girl, let alone a guy.

    I'm not sure about Myspace, but on Livejournal you can filter who views what, so I could put a public post up, saying "I'm so busy, wont be posting much" then just make all my stuff friends only (and choose which friends) so he'd just think you weren't around.
    Theres no sense crying over every mistake,
    you just keep on trying till you run out of cake

    Are you for serious? He has a girlfriend so he's not trying to get into your pants????



    I've known plenty of guys who go pant hopping, even while they have a girlfriend.

    I'd just delete him. But, that's me.

    Oh, sheesh.

    I know how you feel.

    I'll do some research and forward you some ideas STAT.

    Oh...want some fries? MMMMMM so good.

    I'd suggest making this thread a Myspace blog....COULD solve your problem.

    Oh and you may be right about him not wanting to get into your pants...I'd be more worried about him trying to get into your FRIDGE and take your FOOD.

    (seriously, I'll stop msging on myspace *sigh* hint:received)

    I HATE the ass kissing try hards too. I would delete him, or hint to him that you don't have time to read soooo many messages, so he should cut back. Maybe then he'll get the point. We had a girl at my club who was always asking to buy you a drink and tipping you onstage, all with HER money! She was always giving compliments on everything every time she saw you. Weirdo. Too nice people scare the shit out of me.
